<h1>Compiler messages
</h1>

<p>When you <a href="prjcmp3.htm">compile a help project</a>, HTML Help Workshop notifies you if there are basic problems in the project files by creating compiler messages. You can <a href="helpmes.htm">monitor these messages</a> to see whether any problems, such as missing links or graphics, exist in your help files.
</p>

<p>HTML Help Workshop reports these compiler messages:
</p>

<h3>Note</h3>
A condition you should be aware of, which will probably not cause serious problems when you open your help file. Note error messages have a number range from 1000 through 2999. For example, a broken link causes this type of message: The file "c:\htmlhelp\httempex.htm" has a link to a non-existent file: "tmplstep.htm".

<h5 class="note">Warning </h1>
A condition that results in a defective help file. Warning error messages have a number range from 3000 through 4999. For example, an invalid DLL causes this type of message: HHW4000: Warning: Unable to initialize for full-text search. The .dll may not be installed or is invalid.


<h5 class="note">Error</h1>
A condition that prevents the help file from being built. Error messages have a number range from 5000 through 6999.

<h5 class="note">Internal Error</h1>
An error caused by the HTML Help Workshop program. Internal Error messages have a number greater than 7000.

<h3>Note</h3>

<ul><li>HTML Help Workshop can display up to 64K of messages on the screen in Microsoft Windows 95 and 1 MB in Windows 2000, but there is no practical limit to how many <a href="prjcmp5.htm">compiler messages can be saved to a file</a>.</ul>
